(—) indicates data unavailable or inapplicable. a Infant deaths per 1 000 live births. Rates shown
with decimals indicate national statistics reported as completely registered, while those without are estimates from the sources cited on reverse. Rates shown in italics are based upon fewer than 50 annual infant deaths and, as a result, are subject to considerable yearly variability.

during her lifetime. c South Sudan gained independence from Sudan on
July 9, 2011. d The status of Western Sahara is disputed by
Morocco. e Special Administrative Region. f Kosovo declared independence from Serbia on
